Chapter 146 Xiangying, this little liar!
Before Jie Chen could say anything, Xiangying had already reached out his hand angrily.
"Spit out the mutton you just ate of mine."
Jie Chen grabbed her wrist and pulled her over: "If I doubted you, I wouldn't have told you."
He looked at her as if she were stupid.
Xiangying shook his hand away: "If this can be used by the royal family and nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty, then almost everyone in our team is a suspect."
Xie Chen nodded: "So I need you to help me lure this person out."
"How?"
Xie Chen leaned over and whispered a few words.
Xiang Ying's eyes slightly widened: "You want me to pretend that I have the jade seal and am ready to give it to you? This is too dangerous for me."
"I will protect your safety." Xie Chen said confidently in a cold voice.
The mountain breeze blew past, making Xiangying's mind clearer and clearer.
Xiangying winked half-jokingly, "How can I protect you? Even sleeping together?"
"Yes." Jie Chen actually admitted it directly this time.
It was Xiangying's turn to be stunned.
Jie Chen glanced behind her to make sure no one was coming.
He said: "Whoever used this sentry tube must have tipped off someone outside. I guess there is a group of soldiers secretly following us, waiting for an opportunity to attack us."
"I just sent scouts to check ahead. Not far from the mountain, there is an abandoned ancient city. I have ordered them to repair it overnight."
"Tomorrow we will go there on foot and keep everyone in the city. If the traitor wants to get the imperial seal, he will be exposed."
Xiangying put away his joking expression and thought for a moment: "What if the other party doesn't want the imperial seal?"
Xie Chen groaned: "Then the only possibility is that our lives will be taken."
In this case, they have to fight together.
Xiangying nodded gently: "I know what to do, but aren't you afraid that I'm the one behind it?"
Xie Chen's dark and cold eyes were fixed on her, and there seemed to be surging waves in them.
"You won't," he said bluntly, "You could just kill us all, because you have the ability to do so."
Xiangying narrowed her eyes into a smile and put her hand on Jie Chen's shoulder.
"People say that two people who sleep in the same bed understand each other best. You really understand me."
Xie Chen's ears turned red, and he pushed her hand away: "Now is not the time for you to act ridiculous!"
However, after he pushed her like this, Xiangying was about to stand firm when he suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen.
She staggered a few steps, and Jie Chen was afraid that she would fall, so he quickly stepped forward and held her waist.
Seeing Xiangying bending over and holding her stomach, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xiangying gritted her teeth and endured it, and her beautiful face became a little pale.
"It's nothing, I'll just take a rest."
She waved her hand, but Jie Chen still insisted on sending her over.
Fearing that the children and Taoxue might worry, Xiangying acted as if nothing had happened and sat back among them happily.
Xiang Xiuxiu asked Jie Chen obediently: "Uncle Jie, do you want to sit down and eat with us? My mother's cooking skills are very good."
Xiang Yuanlang replied coldly: "Not every man can eat it."
Xie Chen paused, pursed his lips and said: "You guys eat, I'm not hungry."
Then he turned and left, and he had to make arrangements in advance: to lure the enemy into a trap.
Xiangying had a hint of doubt in his heart.
Could she have been infected with water bug?
Since she first entered Mangzhou, she has occasionally suffered from sudden abdominal pain. Although the pain is not frequent, her limbs feel stiff and numb every time it comes.
This is not right.
When it was time to go to bed at night, the north wind was howling outside. Xiangying hugged the children and huddled in the warm tent.
She had no desire to sleep at all and went into the space to do her daily physical examination.
The last time I unlocked 100 little men, the space finally showed the conditions for upgrading to the eleventh floor.
It's actually very simple. You only need to consume 100,000 pieces of wood to unlock the upper floor.
These days they are on the snowy mountains, and the thing they are least afraid of consuming is wood.
Xiangying went to the second floor to check. The wood she had stored covered the entire second floor of the building, and was piled so high that there was no way to step into it.
Now she cannot consume 100,000 pieces of wood immediately. If she wants to upgrade the infirmary, she must wait until the upper floor is unlocked.
Xiangying could only use the existing tools to examine himself.
First, he drew a tube of blood with skillful movements and put it into the machine for automatic inspection.
The report came out one minute later, showing that all indicators were normal except that the hemoglobin was a little low.
She is lacking blood and needs to be replenished.
Since the other technical problems could not be checked for the time being, Xiangying took out some trace element supplements and drank them.
Leave the space, cover your head with the quilt and go to sleep.
When it was dawn, she was awakened by the joyful voices of the three little ones.
"It's raining, mother, look."
Xiangying felt uncomfortable and shrank into the quilt, saying in a muffled voice: "It's so cold, don't go out to play in the water."
When the three little ones heard her say she was cold, they immediately lowered the tent curtain and crawled back into bed.
After a while, the sound of gongs was heard outside, indicating that the team was having lunch.
The skinny monkey came running over with gongs and drums, and said excitedly outside the tent: "Sister-in-law, go get the porridge quickly. The deputy general saw that the weather was cold today, so he cooked four pots of meat porridge."
Tao Xue opened her eyes dazedly: "Meat porridge? We have to go."
It gradually became noisy outside, with people coming and going, and Xiangying couldn't sleep anymore.
After the rain, it feels even colder on the mountain, especially with the howling cold wind.
She added a thin vest inside the three little ones' clothes and put a layer of soft cloth in their shoes.
The main purpose is to prevent your shoes from getting wet and getting sick.
Then, Xiangying split the extra wooden boards and made simple oil-paper umbrellas with waterproof kerosene.
The little ones jumped up and down with excitement.
Xiang Xiuxiu: "Mom is amazing, she can do this."
Xiangying smiled and said, "The material of this umbrella is not easy to handle. Each of you should take one. Don't lose it."
Taoxue went out with an umbrella to get a few bowls of porridge. Xiangying took a walk outside and came back with a few hot cabbage and meat pies in his hands.
After drinking porridge and eating bread, I finally felt much warmer.
At this time, Xie Chen came out of the tent and was about to find the other military supervisors to discuss matters.
When passing by the tent where meat porridge was distributed, he glanced and saw Lu Feiyi coming out wearing a straw raincoat and holding meat porridge in his hands.
He paused and said coldly, "Stop."
Lu Feiyi turned around and asked, "Deputy General, is there something wrong?"
Xie Chen walked towards him, his cold and dark eyes falling on the mink scarf around Lu Feiyi's neck.
The sour scholar looked over from behind and was surprised: "Huh? Why is your scarf exactly the same as our deputy general's?"
When Lu Feiyi saw Jie Chen also had one around his neck, he smiled and said, "The boss gave it to you too, right?"
Hearing him say this, Xie Chen frowned even more.
Lu Feiyi raised his hand and touched the mink fur, saying with a nasal voice, "The boss felt sorry for me because I was sick, so he specially lent it to me, saying it would keep me warm."
Xie Chen's jawline was tense, and raindrops slid down the brim of his raincoat.
Lu Feiyi cupped his hands and said, "It's cold, I won't stand here and waste the deputy general's time."
He left with a smile.
Seeing his master's cold expression, the sour scholar said jokingly to smooth things over: "The princess must have a lot of mink furs, otherwise why would she give them to everyone she met?"
Unexpectedly, Jie Chen gave him a cold stare.
"She only has two, what do you think?"
Xiangying, this little liar, said he only gave it to him!
Xie Chen took off the mink scarf and put it in his arms, planning to return it to her later.
